I'm just going to post this one verbatim.
Daily News: Crane vic's fiance turns down aid from Mets player
The fiancee of a crane operator killed in last week's tragic collapse on Wednesday rejected an offer of help from Mets star Ryan Church because her future hubby was a Yankee fan.
A day after burying Donald Leo, Janine Belcastro said she couldn't accept the offer from the right fielder and his wife.
"Don was a die-hard Yankee fan," Belcastro said in a statement. "It would not respect his memory if he accepted this."
The grieving Belcastro added that she "greatly appreciated" the offer.
The money was to come from Church's participation in a Mets' fund-raiser for a variety of causes. A spokesman said Church will choose another charity.

This isn't a display of loyalty or an unwise decision...it is having an out-of-whack perspective of sports in the grand scheme of life. This widow turns down a heartfelt gift because of what baseball team her husband was a fan?!?!?! I'm sorry for this woman's loss but she needs to get a grasp on the reality of life!
